I went to the chat room yesterday to speak French. There were two other people besides me, and they spoke very fluently, while I had to stop them constantly to understand what they were saying.
If listening was hard, speaking was even harder. Everything I learned during class dispersed from my mind and I had no idea what to say. The time we had to speak was merely 30 minutes, but by the time it ended I was exhausted. It took a lot of energy just sitting in the booth with the other people!
I think it was a good experience because I was able to be in a place where the only language I could depend upon was French. I learned how difficult it was to speak, and how frustrating it can be to not be able to speak one's thoughts.
After 5th period, I went to a lecture concert of the "Bach Collegium Japan." There were some instruments from the Baroque era. There's something about baroque music that is soothing and comforting.
